BERLIN, July l6.-The tension of feel
ing toward France has relaxed since the
French tete day has passed without the
occurrence OF any antl-German demon
stration. Accounts in the German papers
of incidents in Paris on Thursday repre-
sent that the repression of popular out
burst was solely accomplished by the
presence of such masses of troops all
along the route travelled by President
Grevy and his ministers on their way to
the review at L%ongchamps as had never
been seen in Paris since the days OF the
empire, and the papers seek to prove
that the populace we're in reality unable
to make any demonstration. The Ger
man embassy in Paris was specially guard
ed. There was no appearance of troops
in front of the building, but a body of
cavalry was kept on the alert and moving
in the vicinity from early morn till mid
night.
A return to the German people of a
calmer mood toward France can be as
sured, however, only by the cessation of a
systematic persecution of German resi-
dents in French towns, yet the tendency
seems all the other way. The Chauvanist
press still continues to publish the names
and addresses of Germans who have
places OF business in France, and warns
the members of the Patriotic League not
to have any dealings with them. Minor
German employees are being hunted out of
their places at the rate Of Hundreds weekly,
and 1t is estimated that Germans holding
situations in France, who last year mum
bered 50, 600, have been decreased one
halt during the past SIX months. Count
Won Munster, German ambassador at
Paris, Is having a constant stream of APP
peals for help against Outrages which are
being perpetrated on Germans. The suf-
terers are in the main skilled workmen
who find employment in the manufactur-
ing center of France.
These appeals were made the subject of
an oral diplomatic representation to NJ.
Flourins, foreign minister, by Count Won
Munster, on Wednesday last. The count
has followed his oral representation with a
written remonstrance, to which the French
minister, Flourins, will have to make a
written reply. Minister Flourins is also
asked by Count Won Munster if his (the
French) government is powerless to deal
with the organ of the Boulangists LIE
Defense National, which declared that the
German functionaries in France were all
spies; that the central nest of reptiles was
the German embassy, and Count Won
Munster himself was the director of the
spy administration.
NJ Flourins has made a verbal promise
to interfere and to use every power of the
government to prevent assaults on Ger
mans in future. Since Count Won Mum
ster made the circumstances the German
consulates at Bordeaux and Rouen re
port street attacks upon Germans in these
cities and the Bordeaux consul complains
that the windows of his residence has
been smashed. The German papers of
every party concur in the opinion that
the situation is intolerable and that it is
absolutely necessary for the French gov
eminent to lnterpose resolutely to stop
German batting.
Count Won Munster will take a holiday
to recruit his health and to give Minister
Flourins breathing space and time to pre-
pare his reply to the German remon-
STRANGE, but 1t is considered certain that
Prince Bismarck will insist upon a prac-
teal response in the nature of an assured
protection for Germans in France.

peror of Austria will take place at Gastein

is reported that grave evidence of a
Reasonable conspiracy has been obtained
against them.
The Danish captain Sarauw, who was
condemned to twelve years imprisonment
at hard labor for treason and for being a
spy, has had his sentence reduced to six
years, the emperor having signifed his
desire for an early release Of Sarauw and
all other prisoners convicted of treason.

The chief topic of interest in Berlin
after the French situation is the unceas-
ing depreciation of Russian stocks. The
fact is nov recognized by both political
and financial circles that the movement is
not led by spectators, but has definite

the Russian anti-G crman economic policy.
